CRAM Sailors, 

It’s that time again! 2020 was another great season for CRAM. Even with the extra COVID-19 precautions that we had to follow last year. It was great to gather with friends (in distance). Getting out on the water and trying to put as much distance as possible between us and our competition was a nice escape from everything else going on back on land. I want to start the 2021 season by thanking all of those involved in making the 2020 season one for the books.In a good way! 

CRAM’s 2020 Manistee event went from a sailing regatta where you camp with friends to a camping weekend with some great sailing friends. In short, all racing was cancelled due to scattered storms in the area and waves large enough for a small craft advisory. However, in typical CRAM fashion, COVID and weather didn’t keep us from making some great memories.

Higgins Lake: “Pure Michigan” at its finest.

In typical Midwest fashion, if you didn’t like the weather just wait five minutes!

We had sunshine, rain, lots of wind, and no wind, forecasted weather for shorts and t-shirts, but turned to warm packs and dry suits - great suggestion from Tara Cunningham!

In terms of the weather, we really saw just about everything, except snow...Thank God!
